Shitty, but rather her than Obama. I obviously won’t vote for her in November.[/quote]

I voted for Obama in the primary here in VA, just because I loathed the thought of seeing Hillary win my state. I used to wonder what there was about her that caused such a negative reaction in some people, but I get it now. I’m fucking tired of her. I loathe the thought of seeing her run my country for the next four years, regardless of the kind of job she would do.

I know we’re supposed to vote based on reason, not emotion, but so far that’s all I got.

I was watching Washington Journal on C-Span last week, and almost everyone who called in said that they were a registered, or “life long” republican who were going to switch affiliation and vote for Obama.

I wanted to punch my TV for every one of them, calling in and trying to get undecided republicans to join this stupid cult of Obama.

I’ve seen many other media reports of repubs doing this. I don’t think it is possible for one to contradict themselves any more than by switching over for Obama.

I am so glad someone pointed this out. I was thinking about this the other day because I was just baffled at how the Clintons, of all people, are having such a hard time stopping Obama. Limbaugh is doing a better job of exposing him than they are in that regard.

Anyway, I think that Obama’s skin color is his biggest asset in this race. No one DARE attack him for fear of being labeled a racist, and I think this is one of the thin lines that the Clintons have to walk.

But you are right, Hillary Clinton has never looked as good as she does now, and that is so tragic…

It’s a risky scheme. She could pull it off. But I think Osama is more electable so I guess go ahead.
It’s kind of like do you want shit or shit with nuts in it.
Hell I don’t know. We got crap in this election.

"Seven of the Obama campaignï¿½??s top 14 donors consist of officers and emÂ­ployees of the same Wall Street firms charged time and again with looting the public and newly implicated in originatÂ­ing and/or bundling fraudulently made mortgages. These latest frauds have left thousands of children in some of our largest minority communities coming home from school to see eviction notices and foreclosure signs nailed to their front doors. Those scars will last a lifetime.

These seven Wall Street firms are (in order of money given): Goldman Sachs, UBS AG, Lehman Brothers, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse. There is also a large hedge fund, Citadel Investment Group, which is a major source of fee income to Wall Street. There are five large corporate law firms that are also registered lobbyists; and one is a corporate law firm that is no longer a registered lobbyist but does legal work for Wall Street. The cumulaÂ­tive total of these 14 contributors through February 1, 2008, was $2,872,128, and weï¿½??re still in the primary season.

But hasnï¿½??t Senator Obama repeatedly told us in ads and speeches and debates that he wasnï¿½??t taking money from regÂ­istered lobbyists? Hasnï¿½??t the press given him a free pass on this statement?

Barack Obama, speaking in Greenville, South Carolina, on January 22, 2008:

ï¿½??Washington lobbyists havenï¿½??t funded my campaign, they wonï¿½??t run my White House, and they will not drown out the voices of working Americans when I am presidentï¿½??.
